1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem is widely present and applied in industries such as production, manufacturing, transportation, and aerospace. In recent years, due to the advantages of nonlinear access and fully parallel processing, the probe machine has shown powerful computing capabilities and promising applications in solving various combinatorial optimization problems. This work firstly proposes an Improved Probe Machine with Multi-Level Probe Operations (IPMMPO) and ingeniously designs general data libraries and probe libraries tailored for multi-scenario HFS problems, including HFS with identical parallel machines and HFS with unrelated parallel machines, no-wait scenario, and standard scenario. Secondly, based on the data libraries of the IPMMPO, two tuple sets suitable for constraint programming modeling are further designed as data preprocessing. Next, a CP model (IPMMPO-CP) applicable to multi-scenario HFS problems is proposed. Finally, based on a large number of instances and real cases, IPMMPO-CP is compared with 9 representative algorithms and 2 latest CP models. The results demonstrate that the proposed IPMMPO-CP outperforms the compared algorithms and models.
